The Sunshine Protection Act was filed by Sen. Marco Rubio, who took the initiative a week after Florida’s legislature voted to make their state the
nation’s first to adopt year-round Daylight Saving Time statewide — a change that can’t take effect unless Congress changes federal
law.

I love this idea. I love having an extra hour of daylight. I don't like the lost hour of sleep but we adjust. It's worth it in my opinion. Hopefully
this can be a nonpartisan issue and something most of America can get behind regardless of politics, as it holds no bearings on politics. Is this good
or bad or meh?

Finally! Why did it take so long for someone to propose this? I hate having to change my clocks twice a year, especially in the spring when I spend
the next couple of days tired until my body adjusts.

Either get rid of Daylight Savings Time, or keep it all year, but please stop screwing with the clocks.

No more clock changing would be awesome. It causes all sorts of issues. Especially with my job as a home health aide. It messes with client pill
dispensers that get stuck dispensing at the wrong time til a nurse can fix it. Confuses clients and can mess up their day. Etc.

Trump can suggest it, but it is up to the states to change it. I can almost guarantee that since Trump suggested it, it will never happen in
Democratic states because Democrats do exactly opposite what Trump thinks is a good idea, lets watch and see if I am right. We now have a Democratic
governor and I would bet since Trump thinks it is a good idea, along with the vast majority of the people in the state, she will veto it.

I would be perfectly ok with this, but only if we keep it at the "Fall Back" time. I honestly don't like the extended days, especially when you live
in areas full of people, it just means there's less time to relax and enjoy the calm. I would much rather the sun set at 7pm than 8pm like many seem
to enjoy.

I suppose in the end it would be good to just stop the changing of clocks, but at the same time.......damn all of you spring forward #ers. lol

I think it would positively affect my 'winter blues'. Midwest winters are harsh enough. At least give me some sunshine to help me through it.

Possibly a good idea with the new hype over renewable energy? That is why is was created in the first place right? I'm not sure well read on the
creation of Day Light Savings.

I believe it was introduced for more daylight in the evenings. I've also read that it's to help conserve energy as well. I live in Louisiana and even
in the winter months, we can reach the high 60's. Those would be perfect days to wash my truck if it wasn't dark by the time I got home from work.

I haven't thought about that. My grandma is on a pill regiment and never once did I think about how changing the clock would effect that. Great point.

I hope not. Political games shouldn't play a part in any of this, regardless of who is in favor of it or not. But the thought of being partisan did
cross my mind when I heard that Trump is in favor of it.

Actually I think you have that backwards. The states cannot move until the Federal Gov makes it a law.

the only time i cared about this was when i had to manually change the time on all the clocks in my house, but that hasn't been necessary for what, 20
years?
so doesn't this feel like an empty statement, or even worse, some kind of diversion?

HEE HEE HA HA HO HO!!! Yeah we all have our preference. I can perfectly see why you're against the extended days. I live in the country so watching
the sunset at 8:30 is as serene as it gets where I'm at.

IDK, i had to manually change the time on my coffee maker, oven, car stereo and microwave on Sunday morning. My phone and my PC automatically
changed....thats about it really.

No. The change is Federal. The states can only ask.

The 14th amendment: repealed the 10th and nobody even noticed. The federal was never supposed to be more powerful than the startes. But, it is.
